Production of polar cap electron density patches by transient magnetopause reconnection
Mike Lockwood,H. C. Carlson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, transient bursts of magnetic reconnection (flux transfer events) are considered as a cause of polar cap "patches" of enhanced plasma density, as observed at European longitudes by the EISCAT radar.
Journal ArticleDOI
Implications of the altitude of transient 630‐nm dayside auroral emissions
TL;DR: In this paper, the altitude from which transient 630-nm (red line) light is emitted in transient dayside auroral breakup events is discussed, based on an analysis of images from an all-sky camera and meridian scans from a photometer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flow-aligned jets in the magnetospheric cusp: Results from the Geospace Environment Modeling Pilot program
TL;DR: In this article, an extended flight of the Airborne Ionospheric Observatory during the Geospace Environment Modeling (GEM) Pilot program on January 16, 1990, allowed continuous all-sky monitoring of the two-dimensional ionospheric footprint of the northward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) cusp in several wavelengths.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dayside moving auroral transients related to LLBL dynamics
TL;DR: The NOAA-12 satellite skimmed through a region of dayside auroral activity over Svalbard on January 12, 1992 and reported a sequence of auroral forms from two separated onset sites in the postnoon sector drifted westward towards magnetic noon as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reply [to “Comments on ‘Production of polar cap electron density patches by transient magnetopause reconnections’”]
Mike Lockwood,H. C. Carlson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, Rodger et al. argue that Rodger's model requires the day/night terminator to lie in a specific position relative to the equatorward edge of the convection pattern, which is rarely achieved.
